30-40 mm forecast turned out 8 mm. blocking pattern continues. we could be seeding in march next year if this keeps up. rain forecast for next week pretty much gone now.

We got our 30mm here eventually. Seems to have quit now. Another 60mm in our forecast before next weekend.

GF....last time I looked we got 0.05 inches from this system. I will update/edit the post if it's different.

A lot of cattle are either being fed in the pastures or have been removed from pastures. I've never seen them this bad before. The poorly managed ones are the hardest hit.

Swing and a miss all it did was cause the canola being harvested to stay at the 9.8 to 9.2 range all along.

Great for harvesting shitty for refilling the ground with moisture.

Got about 4 tenths here last Wed. Thought the ground would be dry again quickly. Not so. Easy to doze dirt now with header

I only got 10 mm

30 mm here as well. Help keep us out of the soybeans till they're ready.

This rain will also perk up our cover crop. We had seeded barley for some late season grazing (on barley stubble). The leaves were browning off. Should recover and grow nicely now.

Just under an inch in our part of eastern Sask.
Should be enough for good germination of winter cereals in ground.
June rain on top of full sloughs was enough to cause a few to start running over again, no runoff since.
Amazing how some sloughs have dried from percolation and evaporation.
Goose population bigger than ever, coyotes and foxes will have a field day next year unless it comes wet again.
Will take another dry year to take cropland soil moisture down to lows of 1980's.

It must be a good feeling you at least have a half decent chance of getting a crop established next spring already. Kind of an uneasy feeling on this farm right now....but seeding is a long time away yet.

Do you feel like we are sucking the hind teat? It is surreal.

Jewish holidays start Sept 21-22. If the skies don't open up by hallowe'en, don't blame me if I bawl.
